Statewise list of Dams in India is given in National Register of Large Dams available at this web site ..List of dams and Reservoirs for the State of Maharashtra is given here Similar information is available at other websites.However a consolidated list of Dams and Reservoirs at District level is not available. The Table on this page gives list of Dams and Reservoirs in Akola District of Maharashtra State.Information on Name of the Dam/Reservoir, Nearest city and District Taluka is given in the table. Information given in this table has been obtained/collated from this source. Latitude Longitude link in the "Location in wikimaps" will lead to Dam/Reservoir location on Wikimaps where salient features of the Dam/Reservoir are also available.Same Latitude and Longitude can be used to go to Dam location in Google Maps.

1. First things first. I would like to point out that I have collected the data, information and salient features a about dams in geographical area of Amravati district from references considered authentic. Information of all the dams so collected and collated is put in the article Dams in Amravati district so that it is available at ONE PLACE. References are given for data about dams. To prove that these dams are indeed located in Amravati district is a variable fact by the given information on Latitude and Longitude and hence no references should be necessary.

2. Information, Data and salient features about dams in the article 'Dams in Amravati District' were taken from the source National Resister of Large Dams - 2009 ,Issued by Central Water Commission , Government of India.. List of dams and reservoirs in India is a wiki article  and as the name suggests in list form. Dams and reservoirs in India,Dams in India by specifications is another wiki article, giving information in table format. There is ONE main Reference quoted for both these articles : National Register for Large Dams - 2009, It is the same source and reference used for the dams in the Amravati district article.If reference of National Resister of Large Dams - 2009 ,Issued by Central Water Commission , Government of India was considered good enough for notability and source for earlier published articles. I do not understand how the same reference has now lost its credibility.

3. Wiki article on dams and reservoirs in India, as the name suggests it gives list of dams and reservoirs in all the states and union territories of Union of India. However of all the states only two states, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra are signaled out. Andhra Pradesh has got main wiki article List of Dams and reservoirs in Andhra Pradesh.. Similarly there is a main article Dams in Maharashtra.. What was the need to break out only these two states from the complete list of all the states is not known. May be some one wanted to create an article where information about dams in these two states was readily available at ONE PLACE. However it is established that there is precedence which will allow break out of a district from the state.

4.Maharashtra wiki article has 65 dams
